Book Signing, Saturday, May 5, 2007 Yes, Sister: Memoir of a Young Nurse
- Published 2007-03-15 22:34 - (1687 Reads)Nineteen-year-old Donna Yates is ripe with idealism and dreams when she enters a grueling three-year training program under the supervision of the indomitable Sister Leclerc at Holy Cross Hospital, School of Nursing. But her dreams are soon challenged as she comes up against the shocking realities of resident and hospital life...
Under strict rules and exacting standards of the French-speaking Grey Nuns, Yates learns the true meaning of “vocation.” Holy Cross did more than turn out good nurses…it changed the lives of the women who trained there.
This coming of age story has a distinct subtext that cuts across gender, religion and politics.
Donna Yates-Adelman will be signing copies of her book at Chapters in Pointe Claire, Trans Canada and St. John's Road. Sat. may 5, 1 - 4 p.m. More details at http://www.yessister.ca
